  • Profit can be distorted based on how much employees are being paid.

    They’re a “non-profit,” but their CEO makes millions of dollars per year. I’d say that’s a profit.

    Believing otherwise is just falling for rhetoric that exists to take advantage of our naivete so people richer than us can be even richer.

    Many of you will disagree with this (because you’re greedy consumerists), but their employees also typically don’t need to be paid nearly as much as they are. Their employees are also working to maximize profit, albeit from a different, less-effective angle.

    Money brings out the worst in people. I don’t really value the input of people going to bat for the businessmen taking their money. Too often I see useful idiots proud to be ripped off and getting angry whenever someone points it out. It’s really the norm at this point, which is sad.

    You didn’t answer my question.

    I didn’t ask if you support Ukraine. I asked if you thought they could win.

    Are you tacitly admitting that you believe supporting Ukraine includes lying about their possibilities of victory? That would go hand-in-hand with what I’m trying to prove about propaganda and how neither side is above it.


  • Dang. Thanks for being honest, but I vehemently disagree with you.

    People should be allowed to call others what they want. It’s up to us to be mature enough to handle people calling us things we don’t like.

    You should know that advocating for legal repercussions here drives people away from the cause.

    Edit: It’s sad how many of you want to control others’ speech like this, but I guess it just goes to show that we’re not really on the same side.

    If a politician is running a platform of pushing legal penalties for calling people things they don’t like, I will make sure to vote against them.

    If Ukraine was winning, would you be saying “why does it matter?”

    I don’t want Ukraine to lose. It would be a devastating blow against the West and the free world at large.

    That said, you are straight up huffing copium at this point. It’s sad how people who should be on the side of logic and reason immediately abandon both when the going gets rough.

    It’s another reason why I’m proudly independent. This loyalty among crowds is for children and adults who never grew up.
